Democrats have a core set of values if you violate them you get pressured to resign. Republicans don’t have any McCain was the last who did.

People in power make the rules. Same reason you can vandalize government property in Portland and walk free. It's all circumstances

Republicans know (as trump has shown) that you can simply refuse to resign or acknowledge your wrongdoing and it’ll eventually go away.

Ted is probably thinking of a presidential run in 2024. He hopes to win on his character and charisma. In other words he intends to lose.

We expect bad people to be bad. We don’t expect good people to be bad.

This is a terrible way to be a country, though..

Al did wrong and had consequences. He accepted them. The shit heads on the other side didnt accept theirs and their peers didnt bat an eye.
Icantthinkofaname2
Hmm. Well, then it seems they have an advantage. Don't fight tanks with sticks and stones.
Txdrifter
And yes, I would totally say shit heads to a Kindergartner

Its ok if you're a republican, because you just keep playing the victim card and playing/milking the system for all it can give you .

Democrats will tend to exert pressure on other dems for wrongdoing, while republicans are thick as thieves and will deny there’s a dead

liberals are hysterical bitches who turn on their leaders. REPs are psychopaths who will accept any low. no sane middle ground.

Al Franken was a huge threat to career GOP politicians and he wrote a tell all book shortly before they ran him out of office.
RedTailedHawk
I always thought it was because they were afraid he'd run for president against Trump.
Rookie8286
No. Franken wrote about 10 books over the years, all critical of conservatives. His latest book was nothing new.
iggylights
Yes but he specifically didn't write any other books while he was in office.
ProppaGanda
Al Franken was not "cancelled" before of some "old photo" but sexual assault on multiple women.
Icantthinkofaname2
Ok. But the question would still stand.
Mediathug
Name one.
farbauti42
Apparently one can't be named

Leeann Tweeden, Lindsay Menz, Stephanie Kemplin, Tina Dupuy

He resigned. It was voluntary. Shows how much respect he has for his colleagues, constituents, women, and the Senate. Traitors didnt resign
nopost
The Senate denied him the investigation he asked for and Schumer basically blackmailed him into resigning instead of actually checking if 1/
nopost
the allegations were true. A bunch of women who accused him later retracted their accusations. It was a fucking political hitjob. 2/2

It doesn’t make much sense, but the Republicans didn’t force Frankenstein out, the Democrats and the cancel culture did.
lombardothethird
We need more Frankenstein in government
Throggdor
“cancel culture” is nothing more than the phrase Republicans give capitalism when they don’t agree with the goal. Usually a bipartisan issue
Rookie8286
Im not sure how the economic system worked to force Franken out.
ShartistFormerlyKnownAsSPCR
I thought the people ousted Frankenstein for grave robbing?
Rookie8286
Dang autocorrect, amirite?
ProppaGanda
Cancel culture is a bullshit right wing buzzword with no substance behind it.
IPittydaF00
And denial is a river in Egypt.
ProppaGanda
Yeah, poor guy, got fired for sexually assaulting women, CANCEL CULTURE CANCELLED ANOTHER BRILLIANT MAN.
RawSuger
no...its the culture that made DEMs oust al franken over a joke photo...like...its literally right in front of you
Throggdor
Actually he’s right... “cancel culture” is nothing more than the phrase Republicans give capitalism when they don’t agree with the goal.
RawSuger
there's a lot of liberals speaking out against cancel culture. stuff like louis ck or that dentist w the lions. mass hysteria bullshit.
ProppaGanda
Louis CK is a sexual abuser. He should be in a prison and not having shows.
ProppaGanda
Bullshit. He was accused of sexual assault on multiple women.
IPittydaF00
Hey sad boi/girl you don't have to call it'cancel culture' if you don't want but the movement is real
ProppaGanda
https://youtu.be/szybEhqUmVI you know who was "cancelled"? People like Fred Hampton, who were murdered for their political work, not some
